Chapter 172: The End of the Period
"Volt, volt..."
"Voldemort!"
"Voldemort, beat you!"
Under the pressure of the three Maple, Ron finally went from stuttering at the beginning to saying Voldemort's name naturally. For Voldemort, who was conjured by Maple's Transfiguration, Ron also dared to punch him as a punching bag.
Ron's wand is a combination of unicorn fur and wicker, and the owners of wicker wands have no shortage of potential, but they are only temporarily sealed, and when they make up for the flaws in their personalities, their true talents will be unleashed.
Ron has lived in the shadow of several older brothers since he was a child, and because of the poverty of his family, he can only wear old robes to go to school, use his brother's old wand, and his pet is still thrown away by his brother, Ron who grew up in this condition is a little sensitive and inferior.
Ron's misfortune also lies in the fact that he became a friend of Harry Potter after entering school. It was hard to get rid of the shadows of several older brothers, but they were dwarfed by Harry's light. The fame and money that Ron craves are all owned by Harry, and Ron has never had a chance to get rid of his inferiority complex by Harry's side.
Knowing that after leaving Harry for a while, he finally found the confidence he had been lacking after solving problems on his own and achieving some results, and Ron after that was completely different from before.
Although the methods and emphases are different, for Ron today, overcoming the fear that the name Voldemort has planted in his heart can also change his mind.
When Ron was able to say Voldemort's name naturally, after a few trainings, Ron followed Hermione and caught up with them, completing the Patronus Charm training.
In addition to these moves, which are basically based on the understanding of the fate of the three people's personalities, Maple also made some other small actions-
He also secretly used the elixir without telling them.
It was because of this that they were able to successfully master the Patronus Charm before the end of the holiday.
By the time they had all basically learned the Patronus Charm, the holiday had come to an end.
"Ah, I haven't done any of my holiday homework yet!" Hermione said in shock at the thought of this.
Hermione was the only one of them who cared so much about homework, and for Harry and Ron, it was worth it to learn the Patronus Charm, even if they were punished by their professor.
After a holiday of practicing the Patronus Charm, Harry and his family had to stay up until midnight every day for the last two days to catch up on their homework.
"Ah, it's finally done!" After writing the last word, Harry and Ron stretched and it was finally over.
It's just that their assignments are just enough to meet the amount of parchment the professors are asking for, and Hermione, despite the tight schedule, is trying to do her best. Not only did she complete more assignments than the professor had requested, but her font was much smaller than Harry and Ron's.
Coupled with the fact that Hermione had more electives, this was the first time that Hermione had completed her homework later than Harry and Ron. Harry and Ron went to bed, and Maple continued to work with Hermione until dawn, and Hermione checked Harry and Ron's homework and corrected some mistakes.
And after doing this, it was already dawn, and it was good that classes would start on the second day of school, and Hermione could have a good rest day.
"What, Harry got a fire bolt as a Christmas present? Real fire bolts? After returning from the Christmas break, Harry's Quidditch players were all excited to hear the news.
Their victory was now even more assured, and they couldn't wait to see it when they learned that Harry had firebolts.
They were full of praise for the firebolts, and they could laugh for a long time just by touching the top-notch broomstick.
The next day, Hagrid had a wonderful lesson. Hagrid lit a fire, prepared some fire monsters, and taught them how to collect dead leaves to keep the fire going, and fire-loving lizards jumped up and down on the burnt, self-heating wooden blocks. In the cold months of January, this class has become a rare class among the students' favorites.
The most popular class was the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and Professor Lupin's class was the only one the students were willing to endure the cold.
After the Christmas break, Lord Snape became reticent again, as if he had suddenly hibernated.
Maple went to Professor Snape's office after class, and wow, Maple had an incredulous expression.
Snape's office was completely changed, and instead of being filled with jars and jars of potions and strange specimens, Snape's office had been filled with many instruments that could only be found in Muggle biological research institutes.
Although it is much more convenient and effective to use magic, it still does not seem to be able to break the taboo of the creator, and all kinds of unexpected things will appear after the magic experiment fails.
Many magical creatures in the wizarding world do not originate from the Creator, but are the product of magic. The basilisk is a product of black magic.
Professor Snape seems to be caught in a dilemma in his research, using magic to cause cells to react unpredictably, and repeating the tragedy of cloning Dolly the sheep when he uses magic to sterilize and extract the nucleus of cells like Muggles.
Only a fertilized egg can divide and multiply and differentiate into different organ cells, and then grow into a new life, while the cells of an adult individual cannot be reversed into a fertilized egg that can develop into a life, even magic cannot do it.
Cloning is the living substance that needs to be extracted from cells, and Snape only has the treasured Lily Potter hair in his hand, and the cells in it have long been damaged after so many years.
But with the magic of magic, the impossible can be made possible. Snape had two ways to solve this problem, one was to use a time turner to go back in time and take a copy of Lily Potter's cells while she was still alive.
It's just that this is at least a decade ago, when a time converter that required a lot of power.
And the other, naturally, with the help of the legendary and powerful wand elder wand that seems to come from the Grim Reaper, it can restore even the broken wand to its original state, and naturally restore the damaged cells in the hair to their original appearance.
However, Snape's current experiments in the biological stage have not yet yielded results, and he may not be aware of this yet.
"While I can't help you with cloning experiments yet, I have a way to let you meet the people you want from time to time!"
"Polyjuice decoction!"
"I know this way, it's just that if you use up the compound decoction, you will lose one hair." Snape had a look on his face that I had known about it.
"Hehe, since you have been researching cloning technology for a short time, then you can extract hair cells and use Muggle technology to breed and multiply them indefinitely, then you will have unlimited hair to use."
Haha, sure enough, these words allowed Maple to successfully replenish his stock of elixirs from Snape.
Compound potion can only last for an hour at a time, and if you want to maintain the appearance of another person for a long time, only a potions master who can configure a compound potion can be so extravagant.
A week after the start of the semester, the Quidditch season begins again. Thankfully, Quidditch was now largely out of suspense, and Wood had reduced the number of trainings he had to give Harry time to do his homework.
But even then, Harry trains three times a week. Harry had some suspicions that his firebolts were to blame, and Wood had kept his Quidditch training three times a week in order to take a few more glances at his firebolts.
Hermione took too many classes, and the burden of her studies slowly began to manifest itself on her. The time turner allowed her to spend several times more time than the other students, but all the time her brain was at full power without rest.
This also allowed Hermione to have several times the study time while undergoing more times the pressure physically and mentally.
Eventually, Hermione was starting to get a little overwhelmed. Every time Maple saw her, it felt as if she hadn't woken up, and her face felt as if she had a capital letter of exhaustion.
Fortunately, Professor Nicola May seemed to know about her situation and had stopped teaching her one-on-one, instead giving Hermione time to study on her own.
The essence of Nicolamay's lifelong research had already been sent to Maple, and Hermione naturally didn't need to ask Mr. Nicolamay for it.
But even though she realized that she couldn't hold on, Hermione gritted her teeth and persevered.
It's just that Hermione is a little unpopular these days, her spirit seems to be on the verge of collapse, and the whole person has become silent again, and once someone disturbs her, her temper has become irritable again.
Harry and Ron also began to realize that something was wrong with Hermione, and Ron said to Harry and Maple one day, "How did she deal with it?" ”
"Against what?"
"She's going to have so many classes!" "This morning, I heard her talking to Professor Victor, the witch who taught arithmetic divination. They're talking about yesterday's homework, but Hermione couldn't have gone to arithmetic and divination class yesterday because she was with us in a lesson on protecting magical creatures! And Ernie McMillan told me that Hermione had never missed a Muggle studies class, but that it had been in conflict with a divination class half the time, and that she had never missed a scry class! ”
Ron noticed that Hermione was unusual, but even from a pure-blood wizarding family, he didn't know the Time Turner existed.
The relationship had just progressed, but apart from teaching Hermione's Patronus Charm during the Christmas holidays, Maple and Hermione didn't have a single date, and there was no one on or off campus, so it was peaceful and peaceful.
After a month of such boring days, the next month was still so monotonous, and even Hogsmeade didn't feel much fun after going there a few times.
Why are there no televisions and online games in the wizarding world?
Maple couldn't help but mutter.
Wait, I can do it myself!
Idle is also idle, Maple began to study how to use magic to complete the construction of TV signals and networks.
Not surprisingly, the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw was enhanced by Harry's firebolts, and Gryffindor almost defeated Ravenclaw in a crushing manner.
In the final game against Hufflepuff, Gryffindor also won easily. Despite his mental preparation, Wood was still in tears of excitement at the moment of victory.
"We've won trophies! We've finally won the trophy! The Gryffindors hugged each other, and Wood's tears of excitement wet the clothes of several of his teammates. They screamed as hard as they could, expressing their joy at victory, and their voices were hoarse.
Wave after wave of the scarlet crowd that supported them rushed over the barricade to the court. Countless hands rained down on their backs. Harry felt the noise and human bodies surround him. He and the rest of the team were then lifted on their shoulders by the crowd.
Percy, who was mindful of his appearance, jumped up and down like a madman. All dignity is forgotten. Most unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall, the Gryffindor's usual serious dean, who never seemed to smile, cried more than Wood, wiping tears with a huge Gryffindor flag.
Gryffindor had waited too long for this day, and they wanted to get their hands on this trophy again!
Dumbledore stood in the stands and waited, the huge Quidditch trophy in his hand.
Wood sobbed and took the Quidditch trophy before passing it to Harry.
The trophy was passed to each of his teammates, and then they held hands, and Harry held the trophy aloft, shouting in unison with Wood—
"We've won!"
The happy days lasted for a long time, but the joy of getting the Quidditch Cup was still not enough to withstand the devastation of the Great Demon King of the exam.
Except for Hermione, who had prepared a revision plan in advance, and Maple, who was forced by her to revise together, the other Gryffindor students were tragic, and they realized that they hadn't started to revise before the exam, and then instantly fell into a mania before the exam.
After the start of exam week, there was an unusual silence in the castle. The third-graders came out of the shapeshifting class at lunch on Monday, all of them disgraced and devoid of the spirit of walking, comparing their grades with each other and lamenting that the tasks they had been given were too difficult, including turning a teapot into a turtle.
Hermione fussed that the turtle she had conjured looked like a turtle, and that others were content with that, so her whining was annoying.
"The tail of my turtle is still a teapot mouth, which is really damn. . .
"Do people think turtles breathe water vapor?"
"My turtle still has a hard shell with willow leaf patterns, do you think this will deduct me points?"
Then, everyone hurried to lunch and went straight upstairs to take the Charms exam. The exam for the Charms class is the Happy Spell.
Harry had gone a little too far to dispel the nervousness, and his partner, Ron, had a final burst of hysterical laughter, and they had to take him to a quiet room for an hour until he could recite the Happiness Spell himself.
After dinner, the students rushed back to the common room, not to relax, but to start reviewing the protection of magical creatures, potions, and astronomy. The next morning, Hagrid presided over the Conservation of Magical Creature exams. He brought a large bucket of fresh Flober caterpillars to the class and told everyone that in order to pass the exam, their Flober caterpillars would have to be alive an hour later. Left unchecked, the Flob caterpillars multiply extremely quickly, so this is the easiest test they've ever experienced.
They had taken the Potions test that afternoon, probably the easiest Potions class they had ever taken, as Snape didn't move around them, putting a lot of pressure on them.
It is foreseeable that this year will be their best year in Potions class, but it is unknown whether this trend can continue next year.
At midnight for astronomy, everyone went to the highest building. The history of magic is a Wednesday morning exam and an afternoon exam of herbs, in the scorching sun in the conservatory.
When we returned to the common room, the back of everyone's necks was sunburned, and they were hoping that the next day was approaching, when the exams would be over.
Thursday morning Defence Against the Dark Arts was the most interesting part of their exam, and it was the only exam they ever enjoyed.
The exam that Professor Lupin proposed was the one that none of them had ever taken, and it was the most unusual—
It was outdoors, in the sun, a kind of obstacle course-like exam. Students must wade through a pond with Grindillowe, through a series of potholes full of red hats, creak across a swamp, ignore the wrong instructions from a Hinkpunk, and climb into an old box to fight a new boggart.
Awesome, Harry," Lupin muttered as Harry laughed and climbed out of the box, "Full marks!" ”
Harry's face flushed with joy and he stayed there and waited to see what Maple and Ron and Hermione were doing.
Maple, like Harry, was a perfect score, and Maple took half the time he did.
In fact, Harry didn't know, if it weren't for the fear of being too shocking, Maple could be the fastest.
Ron had been great until he met Hinkpunk, but Hinkpunk's misguidance left him waist-deep in the mud. Hermione was invulnerable until she reached the box with the Boggart, and after about a minute in the box, she rushed out screaming again.
"Hermione!" Lupin said, startled, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mai, Professor McGonagall!" Hermione gasped. Pointing to Yan Box, "She, she said I failed all the exams!" ”
It took Hermione a moment to calm down, and finally she was able to control herself again. On the way back together after Hermione's exams, Ron couldn't stop laughing because of Hermione's Boggart.
Now that only the exam of the divination class remains, Maple stares, now that he has changed history too much, Peter Pettigrew falls into his hands and can never return to Voldemort, will Trelawney's prophecy change?
What will be the outcome tomorrow? Whether the tragedy of fate can be reversed, I wait!
Maple looked at Harry's back and muttered.
It's just that Maple himself didn't realize that Maple was waiting, but he was terrified, afraid that he had trapped Peter Pettigrew and that Voldemort would still come back by other means!
